Daniel therefore has a valuable insight into the driving factors (both legal and non-legal) which distinguish public sector land transactions from private sector land transactions.
Since joining Birketts Daniel has continued to undertake a broad range of commercial property work for both public sector and private sector clients, including: freehold sale and acquisition; strategic land matters (both landowner and developer work); commercial landlord and tenant work (new leases, surrenders, assignments/sub-letting, variations, etc); overage, as well as general advice on rights, restrictions and covenants for both registered and unregistered land.
Daniel continues to specialise in carrying out commercial property work for local authorities, acting on behalf of a number of district and parish Councils.
